LINEAR 5 LTS A >
PRELIMINARY INFO
The L5 LTS A long-throw satellite pairs the concept of an integrated
line array with the physical format of a classic compact point source.
This enclosure may be flown and deployed in ground stacks. Although a
single satellite achieves the long-throw performance of a conventional
compact array, the L5 A LTS’ special audio characteristics also let you
set up acoustically correct head stacks and horizontal clusters. The two
configurations may even be combined in a head-stack cluster.
Multicell Transformer
• Extremely high SPL
• Peerless in low THD
• Curved wave (+5/-30 degrees)
• Enables both head stacking and
horizontal clustering in acoustically
correct setups
The heart of the Linear 5 LTS A is the Multicell Transformer developed
by HK Audio. Its unique design offers three key benefits: first, the small
apertures transform waves to boost sound pressure levels so that a
miniature horn is able to deliver SPL gains much like those of big horns.
Second, this multi-cellular design eliminates distortion in the audible
range up to 20 kHz, a common drawback of horns. Third, the nine horn
cells’ varying lengths and surface areas of their exit apertures are
configured so as to shape a + 5°/-30 ° curved wavefront similar to that
of a full multi-component array. The Multicell Transformer is also much
shorter than a conventional horn, so it can be mounted axially in front
of three 8” woofers in a horn-loaded array. This arrangement effectively
precludes phase shifting and allows the 8” speakers to be placed at the
perfect positions in the array to achieve remarkable volume levels, lowranging frequency response, and powerful low mids.
8"-inch array
• Horn loaded
• Powerful low mids
• Perfect line coupling in head stacks
• Trapezoidal enclosure sets a 15°
cluster angle
Able to deliver unusually high SPL with a long reach and minimal
distortion, the L5 LTS A is a most enticing alternative to conventional
compact line arrays in terms of both price and audio performance. It is
an exceptionally efficient, easy-to-handle sound reinforcement tool for
professional hire companies, and is sure to impress when installed in
clubs. Custom stacking and rigging accessories make it an even more
versatile multipurpose speaker. A cover protects it from the rigors
of touring and rental use. Data is available for Ease Focus simulation
software so systems are easily modeled for optimum installation.
Equipped with DSP-controlled active electronics, the Linear 5 LTS A may
be paired with the legacy Bass L SUB 2000 A subwoofer and with the new
L SUB 4000 A subwoofer.

LINEAR SUB 4000 A >
> TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The L SUB 4000 A enhances the Linear series with a versatile bass bin
that can serve as a sub-low add-on to the SUB L 2000 A and can be
paired with all Linear fullrange and satellite speakers. The chambers
of this double-ventilated band-pass enclosure were tuned differently
to serve these dual purposes. One channel is tweaked for ultra low
frequencies starting at 30 Hz and the other for the kick-bass range up
to 100 Hz.

The L SUB 4000 A’s band-pass enclosure and electronics are designed
to deliver phase-corrected response when paired with the L SUB 2000 A.
This means it can be added to a legacy system without requiring
additional outboard controllers. The preamp is stereo so a single
L SUB 4000 A may be deployed as a central sub-low bin for a stereo
system.
The L SUB 4000A delivers high maximum SPL as well as a dynamic,
deep-ranging response. It renders signal peaks with remarkable
fidelity even when pushed very hard. Its impressive performance
makes it an excellent choice for demanding gigs and installation in
discerning clubs. The L SUB 4000 A also provides the perfect low-end
support for the new Linear 5 LTS A. Real long-throw systems are
readily set up with this winning combination.
